13. And when Kefa knocked on the delet (door) of the gate, a na'arah by name Rhoda, approached to listen.
14. And having recognized the kol (voice) of Kefa, from simcha she did not open the gate but, having run inside, she reported that Kefa stood at the gate.
15. But the ones there said to her, "You are meshuggah!" But she kept insisting it was so. But they were saying, "It is his malach."
16. But Kefa continued knocking. And having opened the gate, they saw him, and were mishpoyel (standing in awe).
17. And having motioned to them with his hand to be silent, he told them how HaAdon led him out from the beis hasohar. Then Kefa said, "Report to Ya'akov [see p.848] and to the Achim b'Moshiach these things." And having gone out, Kefa went to another place.
18. Now when it was boker, there was not a little commotion among the chaiyalim as to what had become of Kefa.
19. Now Herod, having sought after him and not having found him, after questioning the shomrim, commanded them to be led away to execution. Then Herod went down from Yehudah to Caesarea, and was staying there.
20. Now Herod was gor (very) angry with the people of Tzor and those of Tzidon, and with one mind they were coming to him; and, having won over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they were requesting shalom, because their country was fed by the king's lands. [MELACHIM ALEF 5:9,11; YECHEZKEL 27:17]
21. Now on the appointed day, Herod, having clothed himself with royal malbush (clothing) and having sat down on the kes hamishpat, was delivering a public address to them.
22. And the multitude was crying out, "Hinei, the kol of a g-d and not of an ish!"
23. Immediately, a malach Adonoi struck him, because he did not give the kavod to Hashem. And, having become eaten with worms, Herod died. [SHMUEL ALEF 25:38; SHMUEL BAIS 24:16,17; MELACHIM BAIS 19:35]
